Please help me in this problem

I want to continue to learn AI and of course i need math,the problem is iam not understand how to combine the math in programming,like if learned linear algebra,what i should learn in it,how do i practice on it,whenci know i should move on

you're already using claude so ask it for a math solution for something you are working on, then if it works ask how it was solved and to break it down. an ai will not judge never give up trying to teach you

Don’t try to “finish” math before programming, learn both together. Like when you learn linear algebra, implement vectors, matrices, dot products, gradients etc in Python and see where they’re used in ML models. You move on when you can roughly explain the intuition + use it in a small project, not when you’ve mastered every theorem lol 😏

This is really good approach - I struggled with same thing until I started building small neural networks while learning the math behind them

But you learned some math at first,thats exactly what iam searching for, like shall i master math first( of course only what would help in AI) or only basics at first, and i find it hard to learn it through projects because i may feel confused if the problem need a new idea in math that i dont know or it is an idea that i already have but i should think better, i will be thankful if you help to get out of this problem by giving me some steps you have taken to go over this problem, everytime i begin again in my journey i stop because of not knowing how to combine them together,

At first,thanks for answering me,and that the same claude said to me , he gave me a roadmap where i learn numpy and matlplotlib and then start with math(linear algebra, probability and statistics, calculus) and he told me that i would not be able to make big projects unless i finish the these three in math, i wanted to make sure that he is right, also he told that i should do something manually just understand them where linear algebra just told me to see the series of 3blue1brown and that would be enough

I would recommend looking into ML specifics and then going back to the mathematical fundamentals whenever you don't understand anything. I assume that you don't intend to do research in this field, since that would require a formal education anyway, which would negate the question.
So if this is more about your personal interest or maybe for career purposes, just focus on how the math is used IRL rather than all of the theory. And at least from what i remember, a lot of ML resources inevitably also go over the math itself.

I asked claude about skipping math and learning it through the journey but he warned me that i would get slower and maybe i wont know what idea in math i need to solve a specific problem, iam still in school if you are wondering why i dont know all math concepts but really excited to learn AI, if you any advice please help because iam confused
